I walked over to where she was standing but she didn’t even look at me. I kept wondering if I had done something wrong. I was worried about the situation and I wasn’t sure what I should say next. I wished she would talk to me so that things could be back to normal. I looked at her face and noticed that she looked different to how she normally looks yet I couldn’t think why.
